I was crafty this weekend...but still no cards


I made these using head pins, sequins and beads. They were a fun little craft. I'm definitely going to make more. At one of the estate sales I hit in Birmingham, the lady of the house, had a box of sequins and beads. She's in her nineties and hadn't been in her house in over twenty years, so her family was trying to downsize or something. I got all sorts of goodies that day...best estate sale I've ever been to. We actually hit one yesterday (along with one yard sale and two church sales). We spent a whole $1.35 at all four places. A dollar of it was for a doughnut. Slim pickings and I picked the wrong sales to go to yesterday. Clark let me hit the Salvation Army and the Goodwill...I found more stuff for my Dad than for me. Blah. :( I need to work on my card (at this rate I will only get one done). This is the last week of Summer School for Billy and then he is off until school starts on the 5th of August. I need to take advantage of the two hours in the morning (T, W, and H) and try to get something done.

  2. Hey Wanda... thanks for stopping by and yes... I finally passed the damn test. Now my boss is going to try to get me reinstated at the Bank instead of going through the application process. Although I must say, I haven't missed going to work.... but I need money in order to live... so I guess it's back to work for me.

    Have a super week!
